UK is a great album; Fish is not so bad, needs some help from his friends. Well arranged as expected but ... It flatters to deceive. Squire's function is to be a collaborator (Anderson, Buggles, Rabin, ABWH, Sherwood, David, Davison, Hackett) but on his own he seems a bit like a fish out of the kettle. In a way he seems to have Waters' syndrome. Many interesting / good ideas that need their erstwhile partners to make them truly palatable.
Combine this with Olias and we are on the way to something that just needs Howe's magic dust and a little contribution from Moraz to liven the tempos up and give it some fire and we are on the way to a pretty good album. Not bad from Chris but pitting one guy up against the firepower of UK is a bit mean. ;) Wetton is the better singer and with a more appealing voice. UK has Eddie Jobson whose compositional command is able to focus on extended works and the song approach. He gets Bruford as well... and Alan Holdsworth. |

Squire's album is immense, but I have to give it to UK on this one!

The great man edges it for me. Fish Out of Water has been a steady grower on me over recent years - I find new things every time I give it a spin.
